High Pressure Hose
1. Attach log catcher to side of beam with four M10x15
bolts, M10 lock washers, and M10 washers.
2. Repeat step 1 for the other side.
–– This is the only hose with steel connectors crimped
on both ends.
–– One end connects to the Control Valve (sealed with
teflon tape).
–– Other end connects to the top of the Pump (sealed
by O-Ring).
–– Because of the male/female ends, this hose only fits
the correct way.
Suction Hose
–– This is the clear hose that connects the hydraulic
tank to the pump inlet.
–– Both ends of the hose are secured with hose clamps
Oil Return Hose
–– This hose returns the oil exiting the cylinder to the
tank.
–– It has no connectors crimped onto it.
–– The hose ends push over barbed fittings on the
control valve and the oil filter.
–– Both ends are secured with hose clamps.
–– Notice how the hose is placed through the retainer
ring on the beam. This holds the hose close to the
frame so it does not flop out beyond the wheels (and
catch on things while towing).

REV 93520-20130425
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
–– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
–– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor.
–– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
–– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
–– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.

Operation
Log Splitter Location Cont’d.
WARNING
ALWAYS use the log splitter for its intended use. The
log splitter should only be used to split wood logs,
length wise with the grain.
NEVER modify, alter or change the log splitter in
anyway. Modifications will void the warranty.
NEVER attach a rope, cable or other device to the
control lever on the log splitter.
DO NOT modify or change the engine and operating
speeds or pressure settings. These changes can
cause safety issues.
ONLY operate the log splitter in daylight.
NEVER operate, or let anyone else operate, the log
splitter while under the influence of alcohol, drugs,
or medication.
NEVER leave the log splitter unattended while the
engine is running.
DO NOT change the splitting position with the engine
running. Contact with the muffler can cause serious
burns.
Always make sure the beam is in the locked position.
DO NOT let the beam drop as it could crush fingers
or cause damage to the log splitter.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the log splitter is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Using your fingers, open the hydraulic vent screw by
turning it counter clockwise approximately 2-3 times.
3. Flip engine switch to “ON” position (Item A).
4. Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON” position (Item B).

A
D
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the log splitter is on a flat, level surface. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
The hydraulic oil needs to be above 10° F (-12° C)
before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil can
damage the hydraulic pump.
If outdoor air temperature is below 32° F (0° C)
allow the log splitter to warm up by extending and
returning the wedge several times before splitting
wood.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the fuel knob to the “Off” position. (B)
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch to the “Off” position. (A)

Operation
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and
air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and output will
be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of
elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and
cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high
altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result
due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet
it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For
this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the
carburetor. Select the correct main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (CPE),
The United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA.) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
Emission Control System Warranty
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and state of California Air
Resources Board (CARB) emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2013 small off-road engine and engine powered equipment. In California, new,
small off-road engines and new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to
meet the State’s stringent anti smog standards. In the other states, new engines and equipment must be designed,
built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. CPE warrants the
emission control system on your small off-road engine and equipment for the period of time listed below, provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system,
catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related
assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor. For engines less than or equal to 80cc, only the fuel tank and fuel line is
subject to the evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this section.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the
warranty period, emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be
repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your Owner’s Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small offroad engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if
your small, off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE service outlet or alternate
service outlet as described in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as a problem exists.
The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage.
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (for
other states, 1997 and later model year engines). The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine
or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months
thereafter.
2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent
purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is:
a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited
engines at or below 19 kilowatts and all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board
and
b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical
in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period
of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners
Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it
shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced under
the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the
effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or
replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE
according to Subsection “d” below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty,
shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
such emissions-related part.
d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be
performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered
by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized
Service Outlet.
f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the
following circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S.
Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND
ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile
limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications
proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of
any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not
reduce CPE’s warranty obligation.
j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids
this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable
hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or
modified part.
